About the Vocation Committee
The St. Mary Parish Vocation Committee was founded in 2004 through a collaborative effort of our parishioners, parish staff and priests to promote a culture of vocations at St. Mary Parish. A culture of vocations seeks to make the call to priesthood and religious life more visible to the whole parish, and to strengthen networks of support to our men and women open to the call to discern these vocations.
The work of the Vocation Committee includes promoting awareness of religious and priestly vocations at our parish, and fundraising to financially support those in discernment. The committee hosts an annual fundraiser to raise monies to distribute:
- An annual St. John Paul II Scholarship to our discerners in formation.
- A Scott Family Scholarship for Religious Development available to men and women discerners throughout our diocese to reimburse them for travel and registration expenses for ongoing formation opportunities such as retreats, conferences, and discernment visits to religious communities.
- An Ad hoc Vocation Fund to cover vocation-focused speaker stipends and meals with discerners and prospects to encourage vocations.
We have been blessed with a number of discerners to priesthood and religious life throughout the past few decades. We encourage you to become a part of the mission to support our discerners at St. Mary's along their discernment journey.
